Karen Waldrop from Ducks Unlimited talks the need to better update and share the data associated with the Mississippi River. 

Angie Rodgers introduces and describes the work of the LMRCC and their efforts to retain and rebuild lost habitat on the Lower Mississippi River.

This video covers the history of the South Florida ecosystem, from the early drainage projects in the 1880s up through current restoration projects designed to reverse the major unintended impacts to this unique ecosystem. All major restoration projects and proposed future projects are covered.

After over 2 decades, the USGS Water Resources Mission Area revealed a new Water Cycle Diagram during a virtual release party, Stories of the Water Cycle, held on Thursday, October 13th at 6:30 pm ET. The updated, comprehensive diagram depicts how Earth’s water is stored and moves, both naturally and because of human action.

This is an animation showing the changing conditions relative to the historic daily record of USGS streamgages from July 1, 2022 to September 30, 2022. The river conditions shown range from the driest condition seen at a gage (red open circles) to the wettest (blue closed circles). A purple outer ring around a gage indicates it is flooding.   

The Water Data for the Nation team in USGS's Water Resources Mission Area has modernized our nationwide alert service: WaterAlert. With WaterAlert, you can subscribe to text or email alerts for recent water conditions that matter most to you.

In this video segment, the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), Lower Mississippi Gulf Water Science Center (LMGWSC) scientists give a detailed description of how the USGS uses Acoustic Doppler Current Profilers, (ADCP) to measure flow along the lower Mississippi River.
